    [For Part I see \textit{J. W. Moon}, Ars Comb. 25C, 3-10 (1988; Zbl 0662.05018).]NEWLINENEWLINENEWLINEFor a rooted tree \(T_n\) with \(n\) vertices, let \(p=p(T_n)\) and \(q=q(T_n)\) denote the number of vertices at even and odd distances from the root, respectively. Let \(D(T_n)=|p-q |\). Thus, \(D(T_n)\) is the difference between the sizes of the two color classes in a proper \(2\)-coloring of \(T_n\). The authors investigate the limiting distribution, expected value, and variance of the numbers \(D(T_n)\) when the trees \(T_n\) belong to certain simply generated families of random trees.
